![]() For this reason, combined with the reality of modern-day depletion of minerals in our soil, the intake of mineral-rich water becomes even more important to our health. All minerals in water are in their ionic form, meaning they are more easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract than minerals in foods and supplements. The typical minerals found in water are magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium, along with some trace amounts of iron and zinc. The primary takeaway is that minerals dissolve in the spring water as it flows through underground rocks, leaving us with pure, alkaline, and health-promoting H2O that is free of synthetic toxins. There is a lot of fascinating information here about the different types of springs, how they flow and where they are located. While spring water, well water, artesian water, and raw water have some differences in the way that they are sourced, they all provide more essential nutrients and minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium. ![]() “Natural” foods are often laden with pesticides, genetically engineered ingredients, and high fructose corn syrup. For example, the “natural” label on a food package doesn’t hold the same weight as the organic label. Think of these marketing terms and labels as you would for the natural food industry. These labels are not regulated, and the same goes for “purified water,” which may still contain potentially harmful chemicals and microbes. The organic filtration process of spring water (from safe and reliable sources) offers a very rich mineral profile – more than any other type of water – but this should not be confused with brands marketing their products with “glacier water” or “mountain water,” for example. The EPA defines spring water as being any water that originates from an underground aquifer and is collected as it flows naturally to the earth’s surface or via a borehole that taps into the underground source. Spring water is also commonly referred to as raw water, well water, and artesian water, although there are some differences. What is Spring Water?įirst, let’s clarify some of the verbiage used when talking about spring water as the marketing lingo is confusing. In this article, we aim to demystify spring water, it’s health benefits, and how it compares to other types of drinking water. ![]() ![]() Spring water is naturally rich in minerals and stands on its own when compared to municipal tap or bottled water, which have their respective levels of chlorine, antibacterial chemicals, and pharmaceuticals – although the big plastic industry has gone to great lengths to deny these truths.įor the most part, consumers have been convinced that bottled water is better than municipal sources when in reality, over half of the bottled water sold in the marketplace is repackaged and resold from municipal tap systems. ![]() Spring water has been around since the dawn of time and its natural mineral content can provide unparalleled health benefits. Unfortunately, the bottled water industry further adds to the drinking water dilemma by failing to disclose where they actually source water, and make misleading and downright false claims on their product packaging. Many people opt for bottled water to avoid the chemicals that are abundant in tap water systems, but the quality of bottled water is questionable, at best. The topic of drinking water is shrouded in misinformation, so it’s difficult to make an informed decision as to what type of water you should consume. Having access to pure, clean, and mineral-rich drinking water should never be considered an expensive luxury, it is essential for a healthy mind and body and it is what humans have been consuming for millennia. This natural resource is essential for purification, removal of toxins, and it allows every organ (including your brain which is 75% water) to function as it should. Spring water is rich in minerals which is important when you consider that the human body is nearly two-thirds water. ![]()
